When I first started, July 2009, at the Beacon Centre, The Musgrove Park Hospital unit in Taunton that deals will all cancer patients, it was very much like that, but, to be fair to them it was a brand new unit. Previously cancer patients in Somerset had to travel to Bristol, 46 miles away from Taunton and with the most horrendous parking problems you can imagine. Fortunately The Beacon Centre is just a 500 yards walk away for me.
My impression is that over the last 2 years they have got a lot more organised. I used to wait up to two hours to see the consultant now if I am early I go in early or at the very least on time. My wife was caught out last time, she followed me across to the centre, I was already in with the Consultant by the time she got there. She said knocking on the Consultants door was like being late for school 😀 .
Kindest regards ? Vasbyte
